But it was extremely doubtful if society and upper club circles would have taken any notice of her. They plumed themselves upon having discovered Gora Dwight and sometimes wondered how it had happened. But Bohemia is hardly a trades union; it is indeed anarchistic and knows no boss.
"She wants everybody to get married, but she wishes I hadn't," Dwight threw in with exceeding rancour. They developed this theme exhaustively, Dwight usually speaking in the third person and always with his shoulder turned a bit from his wife. It was inconceivable, the gusto with which they proceeded. Ina had assumed for the purpose an air distrait, casual, attentive to the scene about them.
The next morning at eleven o'clock she met Dwight in his studio, and in a brisk pleasant businesslike way she began to tell him of her voice what singing she had done at home and how she had always meant to take lessons when she should come to New York to live. "To find out how much of a voice I really have, you know," she said. Her manner was more affable now.
Their united efforts were now directed to the conversion of their flock, and a spirit of inquiry was awakened. In the spring of 1838, Mr. Dwight found sixteen at Nicomedia, who appeared to be truly converted men. He was surprised at the seriousness and intelligence with which they conversed on the great truths of the Gospel.
Thoroughly angry now, Dwight caught the apish thing, and, boxing its ears till it howled, stuffed it into his pocket and hurried from the room, his dinner forgotten in his chagrin. "Oh, oh!" moaned Faith, cowering disconsolately over her plate, "what can I do, Mr. Lawrence? Poor Dwight! It's all my fault. And he was so hungry.

The Church never wanted disease to be absolutely under the control of man. Timothy Dwight, president of Yale College, preached a sermon against vaccination.
Norton, who has returned to you, and Mr. Dwight, who is still here, I believe, very intelligent and agreeable. "Our glass palace is a perpetual theme for small-talk. It usurps the place of the weather, which is turned adrift, or laid up in ordinary for future use. "If you have hotter weather in America than that which is at present burning and blistering us here, you are entitled to pity.
Bobby was there. They were, Dwight Herbert said, going to have a sing. Di was to play. And Di was now embarked on the most difficult feat of her emotional life, the feat of remaining to Bobby Larkin the lure, the beloved lure, the while to Cornish she instinctively played the rôle of womanly little girl. "Up by the festive lamp, everybody!" Dwight Herbert cried.
David was wheeling it; for they had now got it loaded, and were going back to the shore of the brook, Caleb on one side, and Dwight upon the other. Dwight saw that Caleb hung his head, and looked confused. "Moo! moo!" said Dwight. Caleb walked along silent as before. "Moo! moo!" said Dwight, running round to Caleb's side of the wheelbarrow, and moo-ing close into his ear.
Unhappily, on the 25th of April, before the result of these arrangements had had a chance to show themselves, Dwight, while on detached service in the advance, caught an unfortunate man of the 131st New York, Henry Hamill by name, absent from his regiment under circumstances that pointed him out as a plunderer.
